In the manual "Xlib Changes From Release 3 to Release 4" from MIT, it says: "The use of 'unix' as a hostname in XOpenDisplay is no longer part of the specification; use an empty hostname to obtain the 'best' local connection type." Does that mean that I should say (xlib:open-display "") to open a connection to the X Server on my machine? Is this the case in all flavors of Lisp? And most importantly, is this backwards compatible to R3 and earlier versions of CLX?
